Things are pretty much the same here too, everyday we sit in the classroom and learn and get one hour of freedom. It´s exciting though because around this time next week I´ll be in the real world trying to speak the language. I´m understanding a lot more with the language though and slowly am speaking it more. We went proselyting Saturday and that got me way excitied for the field. This time was different then last time though because instead of getting a hour to give out all the book of mormons we got thirty minutes. But we were still able to do it so that was the best part! I heard Larua is engaged now so that´s exciting news! This weekend will be different then all the rest because of conferance, it´s going to be great but also be hard because we looked at the scheuduale and it´s sitting in the plastic seats for at least 7 hours and not being able to leave. It´s crazy though because it feels last we just got here and now on monday we are having our final day here, I can´t wait for that. Oh there is also a kid in our distric that they call him Joseph Smith because he looks like he would have when he was 14, so when people left there was a line out the door wanting to take pictures with that kid.

It sounds like a party down at our house last weekend, Hows everyone doing? I saw the picture of everyone at our house and realized ryan said he was going to email me every week and I still haven´t gotten one from him yet. Things are good here right now though, each day the language gets a little better and each day goes by a little faster, The weeks are flying but the days feel so long it´s hard to explain. It feels like P day just barley happened. Only one more P day though and it´s off to the real world outside the CTM where they won´t feed you every meal and you don´t sit down for 16 hours a day. I´m excited though, I feel ready to leave but also feel like I need another month here to get the language better. But It will come.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, it was a way fun day because we got to go prostituting (proselyting) that day, we had to give out 6 book of Mormons in like a hour. We gave them all way away though so thats all good, it was a challenge though, first to get the people to stop was pretty hard so bus stops were our friend the whole time, also people just sitting down we loved to try to talk to them. We met a way cool guy that was just sitting down and chilling that already had a book of mormon, be he helped us give one of them out and we talked to him for about 15 minuites, he did some sort of street art and was pretty good at it also. We had a divotional on sunday and in one of the talk he said a way cool line where it´s better to be trusted then loved. other then that all he did was talk about repentance. then we had a talk tuesday by Holand that was from like 2014 but still was way good. It was about missionary work the whole time and our purpose and that got me way excited for the field to go out and try to talk to people. Last p day when we were walking around we found a place and got a real nike soccer jersery for only like 17 bucks in america and that got me pumped! Other then that nothing big has really happened, we still teach every day neilly and darmaris, those are going good right now. Other then that its the same thing every day now, but hopfully i will have more for you next week.

things are going really good here this week was a lot more fun honeslty. It was baiscily the same as every other day but we wentent brand new to the mission anymore. Since last p day nothing big has happened, we went to the police station one day to do some stuff for our visa or something like that, i didnt really know what they were saying or if they were even speaking portagues beause they were talking so fast, but we had a good time there, it took a couple of hours so we missed a lot of the day. We also have been continuing our lessons with Neilly and Darmiese and weve gotten them both to commit to baptizem and that was really exciting, we also starting a thing called trc which is teaching new members and not investigaers. those are a little bit tougher because it´s not like a normal lesson instead of being 20 minutes its 30 minutes. That doesn´t seem like a big difference until you´re trying to talk to someone in a language you don´t know all that well so you´re asking every question from a book we have to waste time. But things are coming a long, during the lessons im understanding what they are talking about and know how to reply in english but not in poratagues so you just sit there thinking as hard as you can trying to think of the words. That´s really the hard part right now is that. But the trio also got split up this week because a new guy from the provo mtc got his visa approved so it´s just me and elder Marrow now, but its way fun to be with him hes a funny dude. It´s also easier just to look out for one person instead of two now. We also had a talk from Neil A. Anderson and got to shake is hand and that was a way cool experiance, in his talk he said don´t worry everything will work out, and also that he´s talked to president monson before about missionaies and how important their work is, and about how much he loves us, which is exaclty what i needed to hear at the moment. I´m glad things are going good down there right now, don´t worry about me down here things are going good, and just will keep getting better. last thing we get to go prosulting this saturday on in the real world, so that is going to be fun but scary to do, and also we went to the temple today but they  didn´t have us to a english session, we had to do the poragues unlike last week, it was honeslty so cool to do though.
